Drown, president of the Industrial Savings Bank of Washington, and stated, in part: We seek to cultivate interracial goodwill and to resist all incitations to race hatred, prejudice and unrest. \WithoaFT^gard to political affliathm-oriparty alignments we have noted the tendencies of the present administration at Washington to recognize merit without regard to race, color, or condition. “We hail with unfeigned pleasure the recognition extended to 30 many of our people by President Roosevelt, and petition him to carry out his work so well begun, to keep open th* door of hope, to insure social justice to every citizen, to give to one and to a 1 ! equality of opportunity, full and complete enjoyment of all constitutional guarantees—equal and exact justice before the law.” Another resolution was of the intent to spread and increase interlacial goodwill.
